What a choke on that overhead.

JadeC · 02-03-2013, 02:33 PM

Oh boy, Querrey misses an overhead right into the net, and we are at 5-5 in the 4th.

rainingaces · 02-03-2013, 02:34 PM

Alves earnt that break.

merwy · 02-03-2013, 02:38 PM

HAHA look at that fat guy sitting behind Querrey. Damn the audience looks like all fat people and rednecks

ClayCourter · 02-03-2013, 02:38 PM

His scream reminds me of Mariano Puerta

rainingaces · 02-03-2013, 02:47 PM

hahaha. You saw that too, eh? He was wearing an American flag bandana as well. Funny looking dude.

But, yeah. Everybody is home watching the Superbowl. I wish I had tickets and lived close to the tie. To hell with Football, I would have watched tennis.

You and me both. I mean ... people can't watch both?

Plus, that doesn't explain why people weren't there yesterday.

*shakes head at fellow Americans*

Wow, attendance was poor yesterday day as well? That is awful

You know, Andy Roddicks retirement has definitely left a mark. I remember a few years ago, the Indianapolis tournament director mentioned that Roddicks withdrawal had stunted the ticket sales badly. I don't remember attendance being this poor when Roddick and Blake were on the squad.

I don't either, but A-Rod did play in that Miami exho in November, and I was there, and I was shocked to see how terrible attendance was. Most of the audience was there supporting the Latin players, and I thought that was even worse because both A-Rod and John I. had called Florida home at one point.

I thought it was just a Miami thing -- too much Dolphins, or something. Now I'm pretty much ready to blame the state for the Bryans not doing so well yesterday (though all credit to the Brazilians -- both of them have won titles playing with people from other countries).

Can't really find somebody in our roster of players to root for. Ryan Harrison, Isner or Querrey are not an interesting bunch.

Couldn't agree with you more. As an American, I find it nearly impossible to root for anyone on that team. Sam is possibly the most boring person in the world, Isner's game is just horrible to watch and I may be in the minority but I can't stand the Bryan brothers.

I'm with you on the Bryans as well.

Harrison is a pretty interesting guy but there's just nothing to cheer about results wise for him.

I could cheer for Brian Baker or Sam Querrey. But that's about it.

ruariatp · 02-04-2013, 02:33 AM

I'd have to agree about the USA team at the moment - clearly lack the flair they had in the past. Though I am a Bryan brothers fan... But they were lucky to come through in the end.
The other ties were more interesting I'd say - round-up here: http://www.andbethere.com/2013/02/da...3-round-1.html For me the Czech-Swiss tie and the Italy-Croatia were the highlights. Some great tennis.
